HC Deb 08 July 1915 vol 73 c534
50. Mr. GINNELL

asked the Prime Minister if he will inform the House what was the prayer of the memorial adopted unanimously by the board of management of Glin district school at its last meeting; and, having regard to the area represented by that body, whether he can see his way to accede to the prayer of the memorial?

The CHIEF SECRETARY for IRELAND (Mr. Birrell)

The military authorities fully sympathise with the well-known desire of all Irish regiments to proceed to the front. The question of their dispatch must, however, depend on military considerations only.
